DA Baracus Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Life insurance, car insurance, home and contents insurance, valuable works of art insurance, leg insurance, phone insurance, pet insurance etc. There are a lot of kinds of insurance. Do you have any? How much do you spend a month on insurance products? I was just thinking about this as I realise that I don’t, and never have had, any kind of insurance at all. But then I don’t own anything worth insuring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Pet insurance House/contents Car insurance Life insurance & critical illness No idea about the cost but the pet & car insurance has been pretty well used. Usually just claim for mobile phones on the house insurance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Vet bills can be absolutely horrendous and I'd never want to be in the situation of not being able to get my dog treatment. So, aye, pet insurance is a no brainer for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually just claim for mobile phones on the house insurance. I have all of these aside from pet insurance which is something I really should sort out. I've had to claim on my house insurance once and I genuinely hope I never have to claim for anything again. If anything seriously goes wrong in my house again I think I'd rather just drink turps and end it all. Never had to claim on anything else and I hope it stays that way, although my life insurance does pay off my mortgage if I get a terminal illness. Every cloud 'n' aw that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaldo Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have product care for a few expensive purchases such as a TV, PS4 etc. But I wouldn't call them insurance as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Been a customer with Direct Line for 12 years, auto renew came through the post quoting a small saving to £85 a month for my car insurance...bearing in mind I had a wee bump in 2016, that’s still pretty steep for my age.. Did compare the market (yass 2 for 1 cinema for a year and baby Oleg BB8 toy!!) and as of April 1st (Hopefully not an April fool) I’ll be insured by General Accident for £35 a month. Few changes such as parents no longer drivers and the wife put on (she has 7 years no claims, I’ve still got 5 years) Just shows you that loyalty means f**k all to these companies... To be fair the boy on the phone at Direct Line tried to get me a deal but could only do £50 a month. Thanks but no, cancel my auto renewal please, cheery bye! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least you're shopping around there's no point staying with anyone because as you say loyalty counts for nothing Edited March 21, 2018 by Adam101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Had Direct Line home contents insurance. Wife went to Lanzarote with the daughter a few years back. Apartment got broken into and her iPhone and Raymond Weil watch were stolen. Within a week of being home, a new iphone was in her possession and a pre paid card with £1100 on it arrived to pay for a replacement watch. It is worth checking just what your home contents policy covers before you spent money on holiday insurance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least you're shopping around there's no point staying with anyone because as you say loyalty counts for nothing Astra 1.7 Diesel. Quite incredible really. 12 years and 2 slight bumps. First one was in my old 1.2 Clio and it wasn’t even my fault, but the other driver had witnesses who lied that I was to blame. Second one was basically a month after I got the bloody Astra! But never mind. Got there in the end. But definitely better to shop around... in terms of other insurance, I’ve got Home and contents insurance, life insurance and also income protection insurance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Only House Insurance for me - works out at £130 per year. Knowing things here, I doubt they'd pay out If I ever had to claim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
